They were escorted into town by Legion Riders and welcomed by Churubusco American Legion Post 157 and townspeople waving flags. “We really appreciate this community and their willingness to come out and participate in our homecomings,” said Jay Hilliard from the American Legion. Hilliard has orchestrated 14 or 15 homecomings in the past three years. “If you have any friends or family members from the Churubusco area who are enlisted in the Armed Services, please contact the Legion and give us their names, status and when they are expected home.”
